EAST Coast Asphalt is supplying various hot mix asphalt products for the 28.5 km SANRAL Special Maintenance Project now under way on the N2 between Toleni and Ibika.
The company is working with main contractor Raubex KwaZulu-Natal and consulting engineers Bosch Projects.
“We are excited about our participation in this project, which is mainly a seal contract involving an estimated 10 700 tons consisting of bitumen treated base (BTB) and AE2 modified binder wearing course,” said East Coast Asphalt Managing Director Brian Mchunu.
“All the asphalt mixes will be produced at our East London based 150-ton-per-hour drum mix plant. This state-of-the-art plant includes a 360-ton hot storage capacity that enables efficient supply of high spec product to various contracts within tight dispatching intervals.”
Due to high traffic volumes in Butterworth during the day, construction in the town will take place between 7pm and 6am.
The project is scheduled for completion in March 2019.
